Nostalgeo no Kaze, the steampunk DS RPG from the creators of FFIII/IV and DQV, is getting localized by Ignition Entertainment and Tecmo and will be coming to North America under the title "Nostalgia".

Here is a little insight on the game, provided by Kotaku:

Quoted from QUOTE:

It's a combination of a unique setting with some of the top talent in old-school RPG development. Players will explore the world of an alternate 19th-century Earth in the role of Eddie, a headstrong Londoner who gathers a group of quirky companions together, travelling the world in a "steampunk-inspired" zeppelin. Players will visit alternate versions of New York, London, Cairo, Africa, and Russia; doing battle in both traditional turn-based combat and massive airship battles.
